Graffiti artists repaint entire neighborhood to create giant rainbow mural

Radiant colors can transform the appearance of a neighborhood significantly, and this tiny village in Mexico is definitely a sight that dazzles the eye and cheers everyone up.

More than 200 houses in Barrio de Palmitas in Pachuca were painted in intense colors, transforming the entire neighborhood into a beautiful rainbow community. Youth organization Germen Crew teamed up with the Mexican government to repaint around 20,000 square metres of wall to form a single rainbow mural that spans the barrio.

According to Street Art News, 452 families (around 1808 people) said they were positively affected by the beautification, and youth violence has been reduced. Check out the video about the project, embedded below:

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

Acorn-shaped meditation pod

Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
